Chapter 862: Chapter 186: Chaos with Chickens Flying and Dogs Jumping_2

Pei Qian worriedly said, "Jiujiu is still not waking up amid such commotion. Could she have been drugged by someone?"

Several people felt Jiujiu’s arms and legs which didn’t seem to have been injured, but she remained unconscious. Fearing that she might have been poisoned, they hurriedly sought a doctor.

The doctor, upon seeing that Jiujiu had been found, was also alarmed and quickly checked her pulse, "Miss Jiujiu is fine, she just inhaled some kind of sleeping drug. She will wake up once she has slept enough!"

Only then did everyone truly sigh with relief.

Pei Qin personally came out to thank everyone who was still searching for her, "...For today’s grace, I, Pei Qin, will not forget. Jiujiu has been found, you all can rest assured! I, Pei Qin, also apologize once more for troubling our neighbors!"

Everyone happily congratulated one another with sighs of relief, saying it was no trouble at all, that being neighbors, it was natural to help. It was a great fortune just to have found the person!

With their minds at ease, everyone started to say they would head home. Some people had been helping with the search for two days, and were exhausted.

As for the news of Xiao Yi’s disappearance, not many people knew yet.

Sun Tiezhu came over and asked, "Has that young master Xiao been found?"

Pei Qin shook her head.

Sun Tiezhu’s heart sank. Young master Xiao’s status was not simple; if someone had kidnapped him, it was surely aimed at Xiao Pei and her family. He had skilled martial arts guards with him, yet he was still taken, so the kidnappers were definitely no ordinary people. Seeing Pei Qin’s expression, Sun Tiezhu too felt helpless, "If there is anything we can do, just give us a shout! We will keep an eye out for any clues!"

"Thank you!" Pei Qin nodded.

"We are both families, there’s no need for thanks!" Sun Tiezhu told her to go and rest, "Whoever took young master Xiao is no ordinary person, we won’t be able to find him now. Let’s wait for their message!"

There was nothing else to do but wait.

Once home, Pei Qin fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

After these two tumultuous days, utterly chaotic, she was completely worn out.

But with someone still important missing, her sleep was anything but peaceful.

Only Pei Qin slept until the sun was high in the sky.

Jiujiu woke with nothing amiss, having suffered merely a fright, having been nabbed at the corner of the alley, with her mouth covered and carried away, after which she remembered nothing, starving for two days.

Pei Qian and the cook woman prepared a pile of her favorite foods, choosing soft and easily digestible things, and fed Jiujiu until she was full.

Old Scholar Fang, accompanied by Grandma Fang and Lady Yu, was told to return home, "The household can’t do without people, and you are of no help here."

Pei Qin asked him to go back too, "We are always searching outside; without solid information, there won’t be news anytime soon. Grandfather, please go home!"

Old Scholar Fang was worried but realized he couldn’t be of help, so he agreed to leave, telling Pei Qin to notify him immediately if there was any news.

Pei Qin agreed but did not go out again to search for Xiao Yi.

"Big sister! Xiao Yi... Who could have kidnapped him? Are we not going to search for him?" Pei Yuan couldn’t help but worry as she saw her sister showing no intention of searching for Xiao Yi. Although Xiao Yi wasn’t their child, his disappearance still held significant responsibility, one they could not afford to bear!

Pei Qin glanced at her, "Whoever took him will surely come looking for me! Or Xiao Guangbi will receive some news!" Mo Heng was also in place as Xiao Guangbi’s spy; they could only wait for news now.

Seeing that she wanted to say more, Pei Qin had someone send Pei Yuan back home, "We will notify you if there is news!" It would have been better for her to rest at the Zhao family’s home to escape the summer heat than to have encountered such an event.

Pei Yuan knew it was for the best, but even if she went back home, wouldn’t she still be anxiously on edge?

Pei Qin insisted on sending her back, ensuring at least at the Zhao family’s home, she could rest in peace.

Now, she could just wait for the news quietly.

After Pei Yuan left, the entire house fell into an eerie calm.

Manager Liao and Xiao Yi’s guards wanted to search for people and send messages to Xiao Guangbi, but being held down by Liu Feng and Cao Li, they had no choice but to wait obediently for news.

Jiujiu knew something had gone wrong at home and no longer wandered outside, "I’ll help Mother watch over my sister!" She played with Xixi next to her cradle.

Pei Qin patted her head and instructed people to watch over the house as she and Sun Tiezhu went directly to Zouxing’s family.

Zouxing’s family had already improved the ironworking technology and were able to create many things, including refining steel, no longer using good steel just for blades.

Her visit at this time led Zoufu’s wife to think she was there to teach them another profitable craft, as she said to Zouxing’s wife, "Lady Mo has been very kind to our family, every time she comes over, she teaches us a profitable trade. Initially, it was to help Sun Tiezhu’s house, but later it turned out to help us even more!"
